It’s safe to say the Antigona is Givenchy‘s new ‘It’ bag of the moment, as it’s been seen on pretty much every celebrity under the sun, including Rachel Zoe, Beyonce, Rihanna, Khloe Kardashian, Kyle Richards, Zoe Saldana, Nicole Richie and Ciara. And the list goes on and on. And it’s the latest ‘it’ bag for good reason – it’s sturdy and classic ...

Part of the Alexander Wang 12 Days of Gifting series comes this black neoprene Rocco Duffel (also comes in Granite). Made of foam backed leather, this iconic duffle bag features the signature rounded shape, double handles, long body strap, concealed double ...

You can’t miss the Fiat commercials with Jennifer Lopez driving the mini car through her old neighborhood in the Bronx. And we definitely paid attention to the new commercial featuring her driving the Fiat 500 by Gucci. The new car is full of fashionable details, like the brand’s signature red and green “web” throughout the interior and exterior. But this is a blog about ...

Women’s Wear Daily reports that Alexander Wang will unveil a white lambskin and pony hair version of his most popular bag, the Rocco Duffel, during Milan Fashion Week and at Milan’s ‘White‘ tradeshow. The White Pony Rocco Duffel Bag was created exclusively for the Milan-based boutique Antonioli as well as  Selfridges in London. The haute white handbag will launch on Sept. ...

We don’t have to tell you all the reasons why we love Alexander Wang, or his Rocco Duffel – we’ve already done so, over and over again. So we’ll just say that there are some new Rocco Duffels in town: the Espresso Rocco Satchel With Rhodium Hardware and an Emerald Rocco Satchel With Rhodium Hardware -colored version that fit right into the earth tone color scheme for Fall, and ...

Here at Handbag du Jour, we’re lovers of all things spiked, studded, and edgy. So naturally, Alexander Wang is one of our favorite designers. But we know not everyone can afford to drop hundreds on a handbag, and while we’re not at all advocating buying knockoffs, a good DIY inspired by a bag and brand you love is always fun. Check out this DIY- Spiked Bag made by Kara at Sprinkles in Springs. ...

If you like your Coach bags covered in leather, rather than logos, then you’re in luck. According to WWD, Coach is reissuing five of its iconic leather handbags from the seventies, to be sold exclusively on Net-a-porter.com. Starting June 15, you can purchase one of the original Coach utilitarian designs (priced from $298 to $498) – you know, the bags made of thick natural gloved tanned cowhide ...

I’m still not sure what Ashley Tisdale is famous for, besides High School Musical, but I gotta give it to the girl – she’s got great style. I had a few pairs of those tacky acid washed jeans back in high school but I wish I could have afforded luxury designer accessories to dress them up a bit. Tisdale was spotted recently in Los Angeles, California in a laid-back West Coast casual ...

I swear it seems like a new Louis Vuitton style comes out every week! The good thing is most are available in limited editions but the designs are more of a fun fad and don’t transcend the seasons. The latest LV bags, apparel and accessories are from the Graffiti and Rose Collection. Marc Jacobs and Stephen Sprouse first collaborated in 2001 to create the iconic Louis Vuitton Graffiti collection. ...

I just had to say that, in honor of Project Runway! I’ve been craving my fix of Tim Gunn-ism’s, Michael Kors and Nina Garcia’s snarky criticism, and real-time design (sort of), and tonight the show has returned for its fourth season! Honestly, this post really has nothing to do with Project Runway, but in honor of Tim Gunn’s mantra, ‘Carry on’, I thought I’d ...

I may be dating myself but when I was in high school, MCM bags were haute. In fact, MCM was so popular that all the cool girls owned at least one bag, and the cool guys were getting the MCM logo custom printed on their ragtops. MCM has recently re-launched its line of bags, and I’m glad to see they maintained the style that made them hot, but with an added modern twist. The Medium Boston Duffle ...

Husband and wife design team Mike and Christine Gonzalez reinvented the hoodie with their eponymous line, Mike & Chris. They succeeded at creating the perfect stylish hoody for women, and now they’ve ventured into handbag design and the result is equally fabulous, hoodie-inspired purses. The styles consist of easy pieces that look as comfortable as their hoodies; that is, if you could ‘wear’ ...

Gwen Stefani is a true celebrity fashionista, with her own unique style both on stage and everyday (sans the help of an over-hyped stylist). Both of her handbag lines, L.A.M.B. and Harajuku Lovers represent who she is, and who I am, for that matter. With all the ‘It’ bags out there, I find myself being drawn to purses that take themselves a bit less seriously. I prefer tongue-in-cheek ...
